I'm kind of curious about something I've noticed for a while now. A couple months back I visited the steam website at work via web browser and even logged into my account. I have not installed the steam client, simply visited the web site a few times.
After doing that I've noticed in my SPI firewall I routinely see Steam servers attempting to connect to my 2 DNS servers. Happens a few times in a 24 hour period. I don't see why Steam servers need to be communicating with my DNS servers so I've put a block on it for now. It's definitely incoming and not outgoing activity.
Since originally visiting the Steam site I've replaced my work pc so there's nothing on my pc which could be attempting communication with Steam. Since I put the block on I can't even visit the Steam site which is fine by me since I'm at work anyway.
Just curious as to why this continues to occur. Suspicious activity?
